Action mime shows us that everything a person does in their life can be reduced to two essential actions: 'to pull' and 'to push.' We do nothing else! These actions include the passive 'I am pulled' and 'I am pushed' and the reflexive 'I pull myself' and 'I push myself' and can go in many directions: forwards, to one side or the other, backwards, diagonally, etc. I call this the effort rose.
It comprises a multi-directional space which can be adapted to all human movements, whether physical or psychological, whether a simple movement of the arm or an all-consuming passion, a movement of the head or a profound desire, everything brings us back to pull/push.
